Jersey City police had the trucks brought to an impound lot, and there's some hope that the food was not spoiled.
One of the refrigeration units in one of the trucks is still running, however the unit in the other tuck is not.
"One is running and hopefully that will be fine. The door was sealed so that should help (the other truck)," said Joseph Zazzarino with the Jersey City Incinerator Authority.
State police say surveillance video shows the thefts occurred Saturday evening at the Food Bank on Dawson Drive. The trailers carried a total of 53,000 pounds of chicken.
One load was to go to the City Harvest Food Bank in New York City, while the other was to be used in Delaware.
The chicken was valued at $20,000, and the tractors are worth nearly $40,000.
